While we are a non-governmental agency, unincorporated nonprofit association, that began 2018. In September of 2020 Kathy Nicholson took over CFPAU.org, with Erica Crawford remaining as Managing Director.
In January of 2022 the CFPAU.org Directors made the wise decision as a nonprofit, that it was best to unincorporate by allowing the registration expire and for it to become an unincorporated nonprofit association.
Since CFPAU.org does not accept any donations and all work is done by volunteers we accept zero financial funding, nor do we provide any funding.
All funds negotiated for refunds or settlements go directly to victims. This is important because we must remain above any influence and remain objective and unbiased in our consumer research and reports. That is why we refuse any payment for our services.
There are no CFPAU financial accounts. We are a unincorporated nonprofit association operated by volunteers, we advocate for consumer victims with state and industry agencies and often meet with state leaders to create better legislation to protect consumers.
We also provide consumer review reports, and opinions about victim experiences with professionals and companies and organizations that our in depth research has indicated is harmful to consumers. To learn more about our organization, please visit our policy page at https://cfpau.org/policy
